The Secret Ingredient: How To Make Authentic Hummus

January 10, 2019

Spread the love

You guys – today is a very special day. It’s my mom’s birthday! Anyone who knows my mom knows that she’s pretty much the coolest human being ever. I’m serious – my friends would come over to visit HER during college breaks – they couldn’t have cared less whether I was there or not! 🙂

She’s taught me so much, it’s really hard for me to narrow in on the most important lessons, but I would say these are the top three that come to mind:

Happiness follows gratitude, and not the other way around

Love doesn’t always mean knowing the right thing to say, but being willing to share in someone’s unknown

There’s very little that some good cheese can’t solve

I’ve always been an ambitious person. At nine, I was determined to be the next Brittany Spears. At 13, a broadway star. At 20, a television producer. And a miscellaneous entrepreneur along the way. Whenever I would come to my mom with my latest idea, she would (and still does) listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and tell me to go for it. She never once squashed my creativity or hope, and that alone makes her a little bit of magic. If I can be half of the mom she is, I will have succeeded.

In honor of her birthday, I’m sharing her DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC hummus recipe! You guys – this is the real deal. I’m linking all of the tools you’ll need at the bottom of this post, as well! If you make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you – tag your pics with #VickiKnowsHummus!

what you’ll need

A Cuisinart (or a blender…but the cuisinart creates a smoother consistency)

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my passion project. I'm a 28-year-old Lebanese-American with a love for carbs, musicals, and sappy rom-coms. I work in television, though the views and ideas expressed here are my own.
